The beauty or peacefulness of journey is guided from within, not embedded in anything external. Modernity worries a lot about change, control, specifics, evaluations, explicitness, arrivals, exits, purposefulness and so on. Modernity is a worrisome attitude, if taken in the spirit of thought.

Many times, in design, we are worried about how people will use something, got to some place, what will they see and what kind of space would materialize and what will happen to the spaces which are imagined and later on are used by people? We have to outgrow this worry. And perhaps this worry stems from being too deterministic about everything and designing in some sort of a vacuum unrelated to life. From this we have production cycles, multipleness of events, simultaneity of presences – utter nonsense.

Design should come or rise from trust – let life unfold, which means that everything will be in its place and complete the picture. Do we work with trust or not? Many times collaboration seems like some competition to outwit the other and built on suspicion. The product so formed endorses the same vibration – that of suspicion! How will life ever thrive in its place?! This is what we do not accept or realize – that at a far more subtle level, behind the scenes, the vibrations finally inform the perception of the product in the environment. Then why cling onto suspicion?
